Maternal Nutrition and Fetal Programming
Introduction The maternal system can be influenced by many different extrinsic factors, including nutritional status, which can program nutrient partitioning and ultimately growth, development and function of the major fetal organ systems (Wallace, 1948; Wallace et al., 1999; Godfrey and Barker, 2000; Wu et al., 2006). The trajectory of prenatal growth is sensitive to direct and indirect effect...
متن کاملMaternal nutrition and prenatal growth. Experimental studies of effects of maternal undernutrition on fetal and placental growth.
We have known for some time that normal growth is not simply a uniform process of getting larger proportionately in all tissues (Scammon, 1930). The reproductive system, for example, achieves almost all of its growth during the few years of adolescence. The brain achieves a significant amount of its growth prenatally and reaches 60% of its total mass by 2 years of age in the human. Such mass me...
متن کاملPlacental Growth, Fetal Growth and Maternal RhE Genotype
The Rh locus is composed of two genes RhD, which encodes the major D antigen and is present only in Rh-positive genomes, and RhCE, which encodes both the Cc and Ee polypeptides, most likely by alternative splicing events. Several membrane components, including Rh proteins and other glycoproteins recently characterized, are probably different subunits of an oligomeric complex with transport func...
متن کاملPlacental mTOR links maternal nutrient availability to fetal growth.
The mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signalling pathway functions as a nutrient sensor, both in individual cells and, more globally, in organs such as the fat body in Drosophila and the hypothalamus in the rat. The activity of placental amino acid transporters is decreased in IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction), and recent experimental evidence suggests that these changes contribute dire...
متن کاملEffects of maternal smoking on fetal growth and nutrition.
Standard anthropometric measurements were made on 320 term neonates to investigate the influence of smoking on fetal growth and nutrition. Maternal height and triceps skinfold thickness were also measured. Of 320 infants, 126 (39%) were born to mothers who smoked. Maternal triceps skinfold thickness was significantly smaller in smoking mothers. A correlation existed between maternal and infant ...
